DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT.

In some respects the history of the
p st hree years has been the most mo-
menUOuS in our national life. There
have been many important eras, and that
which witnessed the war of the rebel
lion will probably always rank foremost
as establishing on permanent basis
our republican form of government as
well as getting rid of the question of
slavery. But the election of President
CLEVELAND was the beginning of an
other era and the consequences flowing
from it, we believe, are no less import
ant than those achieved by the war.
1t Is no easy matter just now to recall
how tremendous was the. power of the
Republican organization. a 1t had an
army of 0t1iceholders. 1t ruled every
where with an out-stretched arm. 1t
had DISTINGUISHED one-half the American
people, and lOrded it over them in a
klngly style. 1t had the wealth
OF the country at its back, and
when the election day came round
1t was only necessary to call upon Wall
street, and the grand old party was sus-
tanned. SEYMOUR, TILDEN and HAN
COCK had gone down in turns, and it
looked indeed as if we were doomed to
Republican control for period of
thousand years. The people, too, dis
trusted Democrats, and it was considered
a Yagary that any one but a Republican
could be trusted to do the nations work.
But this very distruSt was at last the
cause OF Democratic success. Con-
hnued Endorsement by the people only
made the Republican leaders proud. In
executive matters they became corrupt;
IN legislative they ignored the rights of
the people. and fOStercd corporations;
III Judicial they bought and sold public
justice. Even Mr.. BLAINE, the most
brilliant of statesmen. could not stand
openly ugOn his record. There came
out against him a man fresh from the
people. He had been a good mayor and
became governor by an uneXampled
majority. He bore about him the marks
OF a predestinated conQueTor, and he
easily gave us the victory.
Even the election did not bring us the
confidence Of the masses. That could
only come by life Of intense industry
ana honest devotion to the welfare of
the people. Looking back over the days
we have passed, we. see in Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND president in the highest sense
OF the term. The appointments have
been based upon merit; there has been
everywhere scrupulous devotion
to duty; the civil service has
been dignifed and improved, and
lll-adyiStd legislation has been ruth
ieSly curbed. As consequence our
business interests have revived; our
good name as a nation has been re-
gained and we stand to-day people
hOnOred abroad and cOntented at home.
Even our political opponents concede
that the administration has been sue
ceSSful, and for ourselves Democrats
everywhere regard it with pride. SO
strong indeed is the national respect
that President CLEVELAND is the only
man now thought of for his successor.
Another term will fully establish DEM
ocratic principles and forever secure the
blessings of good government TO the
people.
Here is lesson for state and munich
pal leaders. Devotion to duty and in
tegrity of action are the only things
which caii secure and hold the conf

TROPHIES.
TIL.

lere is deep popular interest in
sporting matters in st. Paul and Mime
RpolS, and more especially in base ball,
ma III this feeling OF interest the GLOBE
has full share. Its interest, however.
Is more especially conferred in the sue
cess of the teams representing these
two cities as against the other clubs of
Che Northwestern league. 1t hopes to
see one Of them carry off the champion
ship pennant. If st. Paul cannot win it
Minneapolis should. To encourage the
players of the two clubs TO put
1Orth their best efforts, the GLOBE
makes an offer of two handsome prizes,
Fell worth the winning, descriptions of
which, III detail, are given elsewhere.
These prizes are: A handsome silver
bat for the best batting average of any
player i'll the two clubs, and a gold
badge to the pitcher in the st. Paul or
Minneapolis team who has the best
fielding average. Then there is gold
badge to be given to the player in any
club in the Northwestern league who
Oftenest makes home run on the St.
Paul grounds. The GLOBE is DESTROYS
that the players in the North
western league-but more especially
those belonging to the st. Paul and Min
neapoliS clubs should do the very fin
est work on the diamond this season,
and by this means it hopes to encourage
them. If these handsome trophies
prove to be an incentive and stimulate
the players to greater efforts, leading to
more gratifying results, and thereby re-
sulting in better bail games for the pub
lie, the GLOBES object will have been
achieved.

THE PARNELL FORGERY.

Man Named PipOt.


LINCOLN, Neb., May THE follow
ing is furnished the Associated Press by
John p. Sutton, secretary of the Irish
National league: John Fitzgerald,
president of the Irish Ma
tional League of America, re-
Gently submitted the London Times fac
smile of the alleged ParneIl letter, to-
gether with documents in possession of
Patrick Eagan, in the handwriting of
Richard Pigot, formerly proprietor of
the Dublin Irishman, to committee
consisting of Gov. Thayer, Treasurer
Willis, Auditor Babeock, Mayor Sawyer,
Postmaster Watkins and the cash
iers of the city banks. To
day the committee reported as
follows: eve, the undersigned. at the
request of John Fitzgerald, president of
the Irish National league of America,
carefully examined the fac smile pub
lished in the London Times of the 18th
ult., alleged to have been written by
Hon. Charles S. Parnell; also letters
signed by Richard Pigot, addressed toMr.
Patrick Egan, dated June 25 1875, Dec.
6 and %, 1890, Jan. ii, 1881 and March 8,
1881, also an enclosure contained i'll said
hesitation in saying that the alleged fac
smile and the said letters and en-
closure were written by the same
hand" The documents referred to
are letters from Pigot, wherein
he tried to blackmail the league
through it's treasurer under thepretense
that he had been offered $500 by alleged
agents of Dublin castle to publish ficti-
ti0us articles in relation to the Leauge
fund, prepared for the purpose of dis
CT editing the League, and the letter to
him from those agents, which he in
closed as proof of his statement.
In his letter to the treasurer of
the league Pigot said he was on the
verge of financial ruin, and must have
money. He would suppress the Dublin
castle matter, however, if the league
would make him temporary loan of
$500. These letters and the fac smile of
ParnelFs alleged letter, the committee
above named believe are in the hand
writing of the same man.
